If there’s one thing we can count on Tyla for, it’s a good beauty look. Her brown lip liner and pink lip combination has us taking notes; her skin always looks gorgeous, and whether she’s wearing her hair in bouncy curls or braids, there’s usually something we want to recreate. So naturally, we’re curious about what the South African singer actually keeps in her beauty bag.
And thanks to GQ, we’re getting some answers. In a video sharing the 10 things she can’t live without, the Grammy-winning singer takes us through her everyday essentials, including the beauty products she reaches for to stay fresh, keep her skin moisturised and maintain her favourite lip look. Her beloved brown lip liner and pink lip combination gets a mention, too, which is particularly exciting for anyone who’s been admiring her lip looks.
We’ve picked out five of Tyla’s beauty essentials worth knowing about, from her favourite vanilla-scented hand cream to the lip products she likes having close. Whether you’re putting together an everyday beauty bag or looking for a few new additions, her picks offer some very practical inspiration.
Deodorant And Antiperspirant Wipes For Freshness On The Go
Tyla loves that fresh-out-of-the-shower feeling and wants to keep it going throughout the day. With busy schedules and hot weather, deodorant and antiperspirant wipes are handy for a quick refresh between commitments.
Eye Masks To Get Rid Of Eye Bags
Long flights can leave the under-eye area looking tired, so Tyla uses eye masks when travelling. They can help temporarily reduce the appearance of puffiness and dryness, making them a useful addition to a travel beauty kit and even your beauty routine.
Hand Cream To Avoid Ashy Hands And Feet
A good hand cream helps keep your hands soft and moisturised, but for Tyla, the right formula matters just as much as the scent. She prefers a vanilla-scented hand cream and avoids sticky formulas, holding on to the ones that genuinely moisturise her hands without leaving an uncomfortable residue.
A Compact Mirror For Touch-Ups
Whether you need to check your lipstick after a meal or make a quick adjustment before a photo, a compact mirror makes touch-ups much easier, so it’s no surprise that she has one handy. Small enough to slip into your handbag, it’s one of those practical beauty essentials that comes in handy when you’re away from home.
A Lip Touch-Up Kit
Tyla loves a good brown lip liner paired with pink lips, making the combination a go-to for a beautifully defined pout. Lip stains add a wash of colour, while brown lip liner helps shape and define the lips. Keeping these essentials close makes touch-ups easy, whether she’s refreshing her signature lip combination or adding a little colour on the go.
